Sing With Me (Dance With You)

Summary: When Kawachi Nami enters St. Mary's Academy she has only one purpose that is to become an idol. But her meeting with its student representative changes everything.

Chapter 1

It had already turned dark when a girl came
out of a building. She was short and dressed in a short dungarees and long
sleeves shirt with a red and black plaid scarf wrapped around her neck. Her
name was Kawachi Nami. And this story was about her, well mostly, how she
chased her dream and many new experiences she got along the way.

"Unbelievable. Again?" Nami said,
sighing. "Mother will kill me."

Nami breathed out another sigh. Today she had
audition for newcomer of Music Ten which she failed it. She was certain that she
would pass the audition this time- it wasn't her first actually -but sadly she
didn't. Her father wouldn't allow her again. Although her mother supported her
dream to become an idol, but her father didn't, even in the slightest. That was
why she was really disappointed right now.

She was about to leave the building when she caught
a figure. A tall girl with long hair, wearing high school uniform. She
remembered the girl who sat beside her during the audition. The tall girl
mumbled something while reading a book, notebook. She then approached the girl. "Hey,"

"Oh my god, you startled me."

"Ops, sorry," Nami said as the
girl picked her dropped notebook up from ground.

"What are you two doing here? Oh, by the
way, my name is Hinata, Otawa Hinata."

"Mine is Nami, and she's Asahi,"
Nami said, introducing their name.

"Nice to meet you Nami chan, Asahi
chan."

Nami really didn’t like to be called with ‘chan’.
She was about to tell the other girl but once again interrupted.

"Hi, ladies."

The three turned around and found a handsome
tall man standing behind them. Nami remembered the man as one of the juries for
the audition. But she couldn’t make his name out.

"Hi, Katsuyuki san," Hinata greeted
the man.

"I told you not to wear those stupid
clothes," he said.

"Why not? I thought this is brilliant,
and cute," Hinata said, looking down at her dress.

"Yeah, brilliant," Nami whispered
and felt Asahi's nudge on her arm. Katsuyuki caught her mumble
and smiled a little.

"Wait, you two know each other?"
Asahi finally realized.

"Yes, he's my friend," Hinata
stated, still checking on her own outfits and mumbled. "What's wrong with
my dress?"

"Your friend?" Nami asked. "If
you know each other why you failed the audition?"

"Well, that's obvious," he said and
gave a quick nod toward the Lolita girl.

"Ah, I see," Asahi and Nami said in
agreement.

"Hey," Hinata- finally realized that
she was being insulted -gave a light punch on his forearm. "You and the
other juries have bad eyes, well giving the fact it's a small audition, no
wonder."

"Says the girl with out-of-place-dress,"
he said. He turned his gaze when the other two girls gasped.

"A small audition you say? It's Music
Ten!" Asahi said.

"The most famous music program in this
country!" Nami chimed in.

"She's just kidding," he said to calm
them. "By the way, should be going. It's a shame you haven't got the
chance now, but hope you don't give up yet. Wish you luck ladies," he said
to Nami and Asahi. He sent a wink toward Asahi before turning to Hinata.
"For you, don't come again."

Hinata pouted a little but then waved her
hand. After Katsuyuki left them she looked at the two. "So, what are you
gonna do? Go home?"

Asahi blinked, finally could release herself
from the spell. She was surprised when he gave her a wink.

Nami was about to reply but the questioner
changed the topic immediately.

Nami thought decline the idea for she didn’t
give her number to someone she barely knew, plus to this strange girl, but Hinata was waiting eagerly that she didn’t have a heart to reject. She
gave her phone number and felt her phone buzzing inside her pants pocket.

"That's my number," Hinata said
cheerily before turning to Asahi. "And you." After saving Asahi's
phone number she put her phone back to handbag and smiled widely at her new
friends. "It's really nice to have new friends, hope can see you soon.
Never give up and fight! Bye!"

"I'm afraid must leave too, have little
sister waiting." Asahi put her notebook inside her school bag. "But,
it's really nice to meet you. I also hope we can meet again."

"Certainly, that would be fun," Nami
replied.

After biding goodbye Nami took bus, heading
her house. As soon as she stepped inside the house her mother approached her,
asking about the result eagerly. When she shook her head her mother gave her a
light pat on shoulder. Her father was sitting in living room,
waiting for her. She told her father about the result and, as she had expected,
her father just huffed keeping his gaze at newspaper and told her to stop
dreaming and focus on study instead. Her mother offered a small smile before
leaving to prepare dinner.

Upstairs, Nami threw her bag before slumping
on her bed. She reached over for pillow and growled. Her father words deflated
her. Sighing she got up and changed her clothes before heading downstairs to
have dinner with her parents. After dinner she decided to play guitar since
tomorrow was Saturday. She loved to play guitar. That was why she wanted to
become a singer. When she reached her room she heard her phone ringing. She
quickly grabbed her phone and knitted her brows. It was from the Lolita girl,
Hinata. She read the message. Hinata asked to hang out.

She glanced toward the wall clock, nine
o'clock. ‘Should I agree or decline the
invitation?’ Actually she didn’t have anything to do but she barely knew
the girl, although Hinata didn’t look like bad girl, except her eccentric.
Maybe it wasn’t a bad idea. She quickly typed a reply and her address, and sent
it. She asked her mother permission and was glad that her mother permitted her,
but she had to get home before eleven. She decided to wear her earlier clothes
without scarf. She tied her hair up in ponytail and heard her mother calling
her. She grabbed her bag and ran downstairs. She was surprised to see Asahi
also came and glad.

"Be careful."

Nami nodded her head at her mother and
followed Asahi and Hinata, for her surprise again, to Hinata's car. "This
is your car? It's awesome." Nami admired the black Mercedes. Hinata
grinned widely in proud. Hinata wore skinny jeans and leather jacket. "I see you own another clothes beside that lovely
dress."

"Of course I do," Hinata said,
missing the tone. "Well, for the place we're going this much better."

"Now you bring it on, where are we
going?" Nami asked. Asahi who stood beside her tilted head aside, showing
she didn’t know either.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Nami
said with jaw dropped down a little. Hip-hop music filled her ears. Her heart
beat following the beat. "This is awesome."

"Street dance?" Asahi asked with a
bit worried. She couldn’t help since there were many boys, although there were
also girls, in odd clothes. "I thought it isn't allowed here."

"Well it isn't, but that's the fun don't you
think? Come on, don't worry." Hinata hooked her arm through Asahi's and
placed one to Nami's, pulling them with her.

Nami looked over at bunch of young people who
wanted to release themselves from boring daily life. This was the first time
she came to street dance. Hip hop music from cars sound system broke the silent
night. She was worried a little about the loud music. But the place was under
an old bridge and the nearest building around them was factories.

"You like it?" Hinata asked her new
friends. She had to say aloud as they approached the dance floor.

Asahi and Nami followed Hinata, they
were being dragged actually. Asahi was about to reply but Hinata released her
arm and started to dance, leaving her and Nami behind. "She's quite
something."

"Told you," Nami said and chuckled.
"But it's fun, I like it," she said, watching as a man did robot
dance. And then another man came in, and did footwork and one-hand handstand.
She clapped her hands together with the crowd. And soon she couldn’t help
moving her body a little, following the beat. When Hinata turned around beckoning
them to come she took Asahi's arm.

Asahi was shy at first since she never done a
dance in front of many people. She loved music indeed and secretly dance. But
when she saw her new friends dancing encouraging her, she started to follow
them moving her body.

Nami and Asahi were surprised when Hinata
pulled them toward the center. And Hinata once again surprised them
with her break dance. They couldn’t believe their eyes for Hinata
could dance, swaying hips and stepping.

Hinata's grin and cheers from crowd broke Nami's
and Asahi's stunned state. Asahi didn’t move but noticed Nami stepped in and
started to dance. Like Hinata the shorter girl also could do break dance.
Despite her height, Nami was great and had quick yet smooth move.

Nami ground her shoulders, stepping forward
and backward. She popped her chest in and out before spinning her body. She let
out a chuckle when Hinata whistled and the crowd encouraged her. She then
noticed Asahi was still standing, watching them. "You too," she said,
grabbing Asahi's hand, pulling her closer. And soon they made the floor as
their own stage.

They just met today, barely knew each other
but Nami was really enjoying the time with her new friends. Asahi did mannequin
dance and they followed her. Some boys and girls joined in and they did
group dance.

However, when the music changed the crowds’
cheers and whistles increased. The other boys and girls stepped out, leaving
only them. Nami turned around and watched as two men approaching the floor. The
men dressed in black casual suits with mask covered their eyes. Black scarf,
black gloves, everything they wore was black.

"I meant them." Hinata pointed
toward the two men dressed in black suits. "They are called Men in Black,
very famous here, you know."

"How am I supposed to know that?"
Nami said but Hinata ignored her.

"Finally I can see their performance,"
Hinata said, pulling Nami and Asahi aside, giving the stage.

Whistles and squeals- from girls for the
latter -increased as the two men walked and stood at the center of dance floor.
Nami wondered what made the crowd squeal and cheer for those two. She observed
the so called-famous-dancers before them. Their faces were hidden behind
mask so she couldn’t tell if they were handsome. They had slim body and weren't so
tall like other men, average height. They wore same outfits except the mask.
The brown-haired man wore black mask while the black-haired man was silver. She
jerked her head aside as a girl beside her suddenly screamed out. Cursing
mentally she looked back at the dancer, they had started the dance. The men did
footwork, stepping fast before crouching down, and spinning their bodies. It was
basic move in hip hop dance. They jumped and crossed position with the silver
mask man in front and the black one behind him. The music changed and they
started to shake their bodies, following the beat. She couldn’t help a laugh in admiration, clapping her hands as the men did smooth moonwalk around
before once again jumping, crossing position.

Nami only laughed when Asahi and Hinata
started to scream. She couldn’t blame them- although she wouldn’t do it herself
-because those two men were amazing. She had seen dancers but never saw one
like them. It was like every single part of their body moving naturally.
Especially the one with silver mask. She couldn’t help but staring at him. She
noticed small movement of his lips as he sang the lyric while moving his
body. And soon her eyes locked on the silver mask man. He shook his body
and at the same time bent his back. The man then straightened up and turned
around. And then their eyes met. She thought to move her gaze away but oddly
couldn’t. It was for moment before he spun his body. After he turned around she
let out a breath she didn’t realize was holding. 'What was that?'

"Oh crap, Nami you must go home
now."

Hinata's hand on her shoulder broke Nami's
thought. She glanced at her wristwatch and cursed. "My father will kill me
if I'm not home before eleven."

"Let's go," Asahi said.

Nami nodded and followed them between
the still squealing girls. She took a glance
toward the dancer, the one with silver mask. She turned around when Asahi took
her hand and pulled her outside crowd.

"You didn't ask," Hinata said
defensively, rubbing her arm. "Next time do punch like girl."

"Anyway, you are great dancer, I must
say. Never think to give a try at our Academy?" he asked the girls.

"I wish can," Nami said softly.
"I will start my ordinary high school life next week." Beside her
Asahi nodded her head.

"It's a shame because you two, and you
too," he said to pouting Hinata. "Are great, you have talent,
although need to be polished and learn more. And St. Mary's Academy student can
get the ticket to final audition of Music Ten."

Nami, Asahi and Hinata groaned simultaneously.

"Well, just give a thought, and call me
if you change your mind," he said before leaving them.

"But you say you'll do anything to become
an idol," Hinata pointed out.

"But our parents won't allow it,"
Asahi replied.

"Then don't let them know." Hinata
shrugged her shoulders. "Make it secret, after you get the audition you
can tell them, and they will realize your talent. See, it's simple."

"That's good yet bad idea. You mean we
lie to them?" Nami shook her head.

"Not lying," Hinata replied but then
added quickly. "Well lie, but good lie, for later. I mean, c'mon, you'll
just let the chance go away."

"She's right," Asahi finally said.
"But the thing is we can't be student of two different schools at same
time."

"Let me see," Hinata said,
patting her chin, thinking. "Maybe we should ask Katsuyuki san." She
pulled out her phone and dialed the teacher.

Nami and Asahi waited while Hinata was
explaining their case to the man. After moment finally Hinata cut the line and
turned to them. "What did he say?" Nami asked. She unconsciously held
her breath as Hinata's lips curled up to wide grin.

"He proposed about stop out for one year
at our former school. And he will help for our entry to St. Mary's."
